Image compression-decompression methods have become increasingly crucial in modern times, facilitating the transfer of high-quality images while minimizing file size and internet traffic. Historically, early image compression relied on rudimentary codecs, aiming to compress and decompress data with minimal loss of image quality. Recently, a novel compression framework leveraging colorization techniques has emerged. These methods, originally developed for infusing grayscale images with color, have found application in image compression, leading to colorization-based coding. Within this framework, the encoder plays a crucial role in automatically extracting representative pixels-referred to as color seeds-and transmitting them to the decoder. The decoder, utilizing colorization methods, reconstructs color information for the remaining pixels based on the transmitted data. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to image compression, wherein we decompose the compression task into grayscale image compression and colorization tasks. Unlike conventional colorization-based coding, our method focuses on the colorization process rather than the extraction of color seeds. Moreover, we employ the Denoising Diffusion Null-Space Model (DDNM) for colorization, ensuring high-quality color restoration and contributing to superior compression rates. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves higher-quality decompressed images compared to standard JPEG and JPEG2000 compression schemes, particularly in high compression rate scenarios.

In this paper, a high performance pipelined computing design of parallel multiplier-temporal buffer-parallel accumulator is present for the convolution-based non-cascaded architecture aiming at the real time Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) processing. The convolved multiplication of DWT would be reduced upto 1/4 by utilizing the filter coefficients symmetry and the up/down sampling; and it could be dealt with 3-5 times faster computation by LUT-based DA multiplication of multiple filter coefficients parallelized for product terms with an image data. Further, the reutilization of computed product terms could be achieved by storing in the temporal buffer, which yields the saving of computation as well as dynamic power by 50%. The convolved product terms of image data and filter coefficients are realigned and stored in the temporal buffer for the accumulated addition. Then, the buffer management of parallel aligned storage is carried out for the high speed sequential retrieval of parallel accumulations. The convolved computation is pipelined with parallel multiplier-temporal buffer-parallel accumulation in which the parallelization of temporal buffer and accumulator is optimize, with respect to the performance of parallel DA multiplier, to improve the pipelining performance. The proposed architecture is back-end designed with 0.18um library, which verifies the 30fps throughput of SVGA(800$\times$600) images at 90MHz.

The real world is spatially modelled conceptually either as discrete objects or earth surface. The generated data models are then usually represented as vector and raster respectively. Although there are limited cases where only one data model is sufficient to solve the spatial problem at hand, it is now generally accepted that GIS should be able to handle various types of data model. Recent advances in spatial technology introduced even more variety of heterogeneous data models and the need is ever growing to handle and manage efficiently these large variety of spatial data. The OGC (Open GIS Consortium), an international organization pursuing standardization in the geospatial industry. recently introduced the GMLJP2 (Geographic Mark-Up Language JP2) format which enables store and handle heterogeneous spatial data. The GMLJP2 format, which is based on the JP2 format which is an abbreviation for JPEG2000 wavelet image compression format, takes advantage of the versatility of the GML capabilities to add extra data on top of the compressed image. This study takes a close look into the GMLJP2 format to analyse and exploit its potential to handle and mange hetergeneous spatial data. Aerial image, digital map and LIDAR data were successfully transformed end archived into a single GMLJP2 file. A simple viewing program was made to view the heterogeneous spatial data from this single file.

In this study, the original medical image, DICOM file, was converted into TIFF, BITMAP, GIF, JPEG image file, and then the conversion loss ratio according to the image compression and conversion process was quantitatively evaluated using Origin pro and ICY image analysis program. As the evaluation method, 50% MTF, structural similarity index, MSE, RMSE, maximum signal - to - noise ratio and so on were evaluated. The TIFF image file showed the same result as DICOM image in all experimental groups, Image file format. In this study, we propose a new method for evaluating the quality of digital images by applying original evaluation program such as Origin pro or ICY medical image analysis program. Is expected to be used as research data in the field of medical image processing, and TIFF image file showing the same result as DICOM image in the basic research field using digital medical image and evaluation program that does not support DICOM file Therefore, it is believed that it will help to secure reliability in digital medical image processing research using image file.

The fringe pattern obtained through a DHM (Digital Holographic Microscopy) contains the thickness information of the sample. However, there is a disadvantage that the data capacity is large. Therefore, a compression method that can reduce the data size while minimizing damage to the thickness information of the sample contained in the fringe pattern is required. This paper presents the phase compression method and confirmed through experiments that the phase compression method is more efficient that the fringe pattern compression method used in JPEG Pleno Holography. As a result of evaluation using RMSE, BD-Rate and PSNR the phase compression method showed up to 92.39% improvement in performance than the fringe pattern compression method. In addition, experiment were conducted under various conditions to compare and analyze the compression performance for each condition. In the case of the fringe pattern compression method, it includes not only the phase information for calculating the thickness of the sample but also other information, whereas the phase compression method compresses only the phase information after removing unnecessary information from the fringe pattern. It is judged to have high performance.

기존의 블록단위 DCT 부호화는 계층에 관계없이 일단 부호화한 후, 신호의 중요도에 따라 지역 성분과 고역 성분으로 계층을 나눈다. 하지만, 웨이브릿과 같은 대역 분할 부호화의 경우는 대역별로 비슷한 통계를 가지므로, 이를 이용하여 계층 부호화를 하면 좀 더 큰 부호화 이득을 가질 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 기존의 블록 단위 부화화기 형태를 유지하면서 대역 분할 부호화를 이용한 영상 신호의 계층적 부호화를 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 영상을 웨이브릿을 이용하여 대역 분할한 후, 각 대역별로 기존의 JPEG과 같이 블록 단위 DCT-변환 부호화를 수행한다.

본 논문에서는 인간시각시스템(HVS)과 블록 DCT를 이용한 효과적인 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 워터마크는 시각적으로 인식 가능한 패턴과 비밀키에 의해 생성되고, 인간시각특성에 따라 영상의 중간 주파수 대역을 선택적으로 변조함으로서 삽입된다. 워터마크의 추출에는 원 영상이 필요하며, 추출된 워터마크와 원래의 워터마크와의 상관관계를 통하여 유사성을 판별한다. 제안한 방법의 실험결과, 영상에 삽입된 워터마크는 노이즈, 필터링, JPEG 손실압축등에 강인함을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 TMS320C6201 DSP (Digial Signal Processor)를 이용하여 실시간 영상 부호화기를 구현하였다. 기본적인 영상 압축 방법으로는 baseline-JPEG을 사용하였고 이에 움직임 검출 알고리즘을 부가하여 영상의 시간적인 중복성을 제거하였다. 특히 저속 메모리와 고속 메모리의 효율적인 분배 사용, 계산량이 많은 모듈의 최적화, 데이터의 병렬 연산과 DMA (Direct Memory Access)를 이용한 데이터 전송 등의 방법을 통하여 실시간 영상 부호화기의 고속 영상 처리에 중점을 두었다.
